Two lanes merging into one. Arrows clearly define which lane merges

I only ask because in certain parts of the country if a lane is
closing and prior warning is being given all the sheep immediately
abandon the about to be closed lane. Same sheep take great umbrage if
one tries to merge at the head of the queue as recommended. (i..e)
Zip merge as opposed to a comb merge)
To me the obvious choice should be a one to one merge at the merge
point but lots of pillocks take offence.


I am one of these pillocks.Â* I don't expect you to push past a queue
at the supermarket so why should you do so on the road?


because if I don't do it, some other ******* will do it and push in in
front of me

so the only way to avoid people pushing in, is if everybody does it

obviously it depends upon the length of the Q

if it's just 5 or 6 cars I get on the back

if it's 30 or more, I go down the outside


....thereby making use of the RH lane.

Some seem to think it's just there for decoration.
